Does anyone have any idea why this is being caused? Or how I can go
about investigating it?
That looks like a a bug in `raco setup' that has been fixed in v5.90.x.
It happens when a "info-domain/compiled/cache.rktd" file, which record
fields provided by "info.rkt" files, gets out of sync with the
"info.rkt" files.
Which would make sense as I was mucking about with these files when
trying to sort out the conflict with the PLaneT file.
Does running `raco setup' with 0 arguments fix the problem?
I tried it, and tried various other things, butI kept finding references
to the plt file. So I deleted the ~/.racket directory in the hope
that it
would regenerate. Unfortunately the doc database hasn't regenerated
so I can't run raco setup as there is no database for it. I have tried
reinstalling racket from the debian repo, but no joy. Any ideas?
I thought I'd just reply to this as I found a fix for it and someone may
come
across this via a search.
The problem only appears when using a package link to a directory when
no packages have been installed under the user's .racket folder. As soon
as I installed a package for the user, the problem went away.
